"Last time I saw Sam Tyler he disappeared in a blue police box, claiming he was The Master."

I've said this before, but for me personally, Ashes and Mars will never end until Gene goes to the pub. I would love one big final movie where they all get to come back and help Gene with one last case and then they all return to the pub for the final time, THEN it will have come to a satisfactory end.

No. Sam died after he jumped off the roof, lived 7 years in Coppers Purgatory aka Gene Hunts world, relative to the 1 in the real world. In the end, he wanted to go onto the PROPER Heaven, but needed to fake his death in Gene Hunts world to help maintain the illusion that they were in the real world.

This might be speculation on my part but when Sam was out of his coma, he may have done some digging about, learned that the people he met WEREN'T just figments of his imagination, theyd been alive

[JackassJunior]

Being honest, personal opinion here, but i think Ashes to Ashes would have been better if Sam and Annie were still in the show. Sam would be the only person to believe Alex.

Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes are some of the best TV that I have ever watched. Thank you.

@oxmys "That's funny. Last time I saw Sam Tyler, he had blonde hair, and was throwing lasers from his hands at a guy who looked like Timothy Dalton and a bunch of other people. David Tennant's face was all cut up, and I could've sworn I saw Wally Bannister from Coronation Street."

The ending creeped me out but it was so beautifully done

[badwolf]

AHHHHGHHFHGHGH, there’s rumour that they might be planning another series of Life on Mars?! If so, I’m totally hyped!!!

[stephbiek]

That look in his eyes when he looks up at her, realizing what she said at the end. Every time. :D

[melinafrance]

Oh my God, Philip Glenister's eyes, and lips, and fingers! I think I'm having the biggest crush I've ever had!

[NextSound]

She has got to be just the upmost beauty.

Alex: Get your coat, you've pulled.
[romantic music starts to play]

D'AWWW

[tonyt]

Mmm, everybody else was in ashes to ashes from life on mars, except of course Sam Tyler, but what happened to Annie, .?

[kekskrvmel]

i love the way she says "you've pulled" jhgdsdkl

[OldschoolBoards]

get your coat you've pulled, haha

[fabfout]

Cant beleive they are finally about to get together. x x

[rhiannonindia]

I always squeal like a child at the end moment haha

[zacmumblethunder]

I've only just realised, why didn't she ask what happened to Annie? Even if she thought she and Sam were the only ones in this situation, as a policewoman she'd have asked what happened to the girlfriend.

[tinaa]

Beautiful.

Life is brutal short and totally unfair.

Gene was the only hope in a world of endless pain.

Phil.

For ages a lot of people asked what happened to Sam Tyler, yet the opening scene in the very first episode reveals he was still alive in the time period before Alex goes back in time. Watch opening of the first episode where Alex is in the car with her daughter. Alex tells her daughter Sam Tyler is still alive.
